A pencil, two thumbtacks, and a loop of string with a circumference of 29 cm are used to draw an ellipse. How does the shape of the ellipse change as the distance between the two thumbtacks is increased?
The ellipse becomes more egg-shaped as the distance between the two tacks is
increased, that is, the eccentricity increases as the distance between the two tacks
increases.
